 Α scenic mountain destination!

Today we will refer to a different favorite winter destination, Agios Athanasios. It is a traditional settlement, which in the mid-80s was abandoned, as according to the residents, the snow left the village blocked for months, creating enormous feeding problems and not only for the residents. For this reason, they built the new settlement a few kilometers below. In the 90s, the ski resort, the well-known Kaimaktsalan, was built, which upgraded the area to the most popular one in western Macedonia.
